Algeria Leader Dubs IMF Foreign Debt Advice ‘Political Suicide’

The president’s remarks came a few days after the IMF’s latest Article IV report urged Algeria to begin gradual fiscal adjustment in 2022 to maintain debt sustainability. One notable recommendation for the oil and gas-rich country: diversifying its sources of budget financing to include external borrowing.
Falling income from energy exports has combined with the pandemic to pile pressure on Algeria’s economy. The country, where long-time leader Abdelaziz Bouteflika resigned in 2019 amid mass protests, is still facing demands from demonstrators for widespread change.
Tebboune said Algeria has trimmed its export bill while avoiding shortages, adding that its non-hydrocarbon exports will reach a record $4.5 billion by the end of 2021.
